Audio Reviews - Hesher - Audio Review

Loud music. Pornography. Burning **** to the ground. These are a few of Hesher's favorite things. And they are what Hesher brings into the lives of TJ and his father, Paulwhen he takes up residence in their garage uninvited.

  You guys makes some valid points and I'll admit: The movie has a certain charm to it. Too bad it completely fails in the third act where Hesher just becomes an all out douchebag without any kind of likability.

  I mean, this character works for a certain amount of time, but after about 1 hour of sittin' watchin' his insanity and metaphors it just starts to annoy you.

  And if we gonna bring up the same issue as you guys had with the cops not bein' 'round: The fact that this guy wouldn't get his ass kicked within a matter of a day is beyond me. I mean he might be a psychopath, but most of the time he just looks like a drugged up crackhead.

  He's not big, he doesn't know martial art or hand-to-hand combat and most of the time he's unarmed so it doesn't make any sense that the whole society would be completely terrified of him, hell back here in San Francisco he would've get his ass woop'd in a matter of seconds.

  And if we ignore this rhinoceros of a plothole, how come the kid doesn't call the cops? I mean, as you guys said, he's obviously terrified of this guy and there's several times when he got the phone right before his fuckin' eyes so why the hell doesn't he call the police!?

  Also, the sub-plot with Natalie Portman just went downhill and served the movie no point, but despite these complaints immah give this movie a solid Rental cuz of the many times I laughed and of course Gordon Lewitt's fantastic acting.

  Hey now I know what I'll become since I love metallica and NIN. Lucky you guys got to see it. It wasn't playing anywhere near me. It pisses me off the past three months great movies are far, far, away from here. 13 assassins, bang bang club, and now this. Want to review this so bad cause I relate in to TJ in so many ways growing up.

  Piper Laurie was in a movie called Hounddog a few years back with Dakota Fanning and Robin Wright (Penn) where she played the grandma. That movie utterly failed under all the cliches but the performances were awesome at least.

  @Mr. K

  That's the impression I get from the review. The cast does a great job but the script is on shaky ground.

   

  This movie is very similar to the stuff MTV Films churns out. The movie tries to reinvent the "coming of age mentor" genre with a lot of unsentimental rebellion. The problem is that it falls into the trap that all MTV Films fall into. It tries so hard to be hip and cool that the messages ring false. I really don't think the writers did their homework. People in depression don't "simply snap out of it". You can shock them into temporary action but you can't force them into lasting recovery.

  Now I'm wanting to see this movie when it comes to the area.

  So is this turning into the year of Natalie Portman or something?  We've got this, Thor, and Your Highness all within the span of about a month!

  After seeing this trailer I can definetly see Joseph Gordan Levitt playing Eric Draven!

  The movie was alright, everyone gave a great performance. It wasn't as exciting as I hoped it would, considering that the place where I saw this movie was dead silent during the funny parts, and not as much metal as I hoped, but damn did the movie suprised me so many times.

  And Natalie Portman in those glasses..........yyyyyyyyyyyYEES

  I saw this tonight from your recommendation... I absolutely loved it!!! It was subtle while being in-your-face. And Gordon-Levitt carries most of this movie and it was excellent! Great review, guys!

  Luckily this isnt a TDK prequel, because it would mean that the Joker is a Metallica fan. :O

  I don't think this movie is right for me. Hasher sound like a character that I would hate. I can't like a movie if I don't like the main character or protagonist.  Thanks for the review Spill Crew.

  @Manuel Guardado-I love the connection you made dude

   

  I never thought of this, but FLCL was about a town that was filled with people who have lived such a boring life that they have no personality, so when someone comes around to change things, she really has to do crazy things.

  So this is Thor as "Hancock."

  That ending was hillarious! i hope someone makes a fan art of Cyrus and Co Host as Beevus and Butthead, hehe!

   

  I'll definately look into this film when it's released here, looks really cool. And Joseph is a great actor, I always enjoy his roles.

  *meekly raises hand* why do you guys always complain about there never being police to arrest main characters? thats kinda a weird thing to critic, seeing as how this wasn't based on a true story and is a piece of fiction. Do all movies where people do illegal things an the police are not jailing them, lesser films to you?

   

  Just wondering, heard you do this alot, your super review, the limitless review, seems like your suspension of belief is kinda in the wrong place for watching any film thats not a documentary. and its mostly korey, which is weird for an alcoholic that throws chairs and watches cats poop.
